- Well there are a couple of options, but not all of them are in English though For English, then the first thing that comes to mind is to join the ASH (American School in the Hague) network. They have a Yahoo Group for buying and selling. It is all in English, and especially starting now (in line with the end of school year), a lot of expat families are selling things in preperation to return to home countries http://www.ash.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=457&Itemid=888 Alternatively there is the Kringloopwinkel which sells second hand items. Here is the link to the local branches in Den Haag http://www.kringloopdenhaag.nl/kringloopwinkel-vestigingen.php. However I have to add that you also have no guarantee where they came from. I know someone who picked up what they thought was a bargin, but actually ended up picking up bugs as well. So for furnished goods like beds, sofa's, chairs etc, I would urge caution. If you want second hand then also look at Marktplaats. At least you can pick up the goods from the previous owner's house (and so get an idea if it has been in a clean house or not). Here is the link http://www.marktplaats.nl/ - then choose 'Huis en Inrichting'(House & contents). Then you can use Google translate to get around (but some of the ads are also in English) http://translate.google.com/translate_t?sl=nl&tl=en# Also don't forget to look at bargin shops for this kind of thing (not great quality, but cheap) like Leenbakker or Kwantum which are popular as well for new & cheap (mainly self-assembly) items. http://www.leenbakker.nl/ http://www.kwantum.nl/
